"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Should I study the Don Juan Bible or some more eBooks?

I recently recieved a few eBooks on PUA such as Carlos Xuma's Secrets of the Alpha Male and Mike Pilinski's High Status Male. I am ready to start studying and learning, however my question is should I start reading the eBooks first or go through the Don Juan Bible first?

Which would be better? Also, I've read DYD by David DeAngelo already. Thanks in advance.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I might reccomend the books first. Cause then theres a continuity. It will be 1 evolving line of thought, in regards to DJ'ing. If your fresh into exploring the dynamics of "game"... those full threads of knowledge covering the groundwork might be a good thing.

From that, you'll then have some entire frameworks to understand the specific gems the DJB consists of. You'll see more into the selected posts, as you'll have already energized your eyes w. some groundwork structure.

Just my thoughts.
I haven't read those 2 ebooks yet... but I think they're supposed to be pretty good. So... enjoy Ace.

To add on to that.. has anyone ever made a PDF file? That way you can print it and read it somewherre comfortable.. highlight and what not.

It shouldnt be that expensive to go to kinkos and print it. they can bind it together and stuff too

Don't Trip... KillaPeteHog already made a tight PDF of the DJB.
Its boiled down obviously... but its very well made, and has great flow to it.

Here they are...

http://www.sendspace.com/file/aafxhp - DJB Redone (pdf)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/4ormgb - Playaz Handbook (pdf)

Once again... all credit goes to KillaPete
He did a great job on these.
Props!

Enjoy'

I just picked up DocLove's THE SYSTEM e-book and it has mind-blowing principles applied to dating within the first 60 days all the way to LTR.

I don't know if it means a lot to me since I've read almost all the other e-books first including the entire DJB, but it's helping me eliminate the non-interested girls and read Red Flags much much better with higher intuition.

DocLove also has a free Podcast on iTunes if you're interested called "Understanding Women - For MEN only"

If you're looking for quick inspiration - than read every Pook thread here.

I think it's best to use one resource at a time. Too many things going at once and youj never actually use any of it, it's just a big, confused glob.

I think the DJ bootcamp is a good start, best of all it's free and easy to obtain. If you really do the suggested readings/exercises, then you will start to get better. Mystery's VAH is also a good way to get started. Badboys CD set is good also. Any of those will be a good start, IMHO. Attract and Date also has a "bootcamp" style set of CDs, which I think is a good start.

None of those are really "better" than another in my opinion. The difference is whether or not you consistenly have faith in the exercises and try them out in the real world instead of trying to figure out what would happen in XYZ situation in your head. Each one will take a considerable amount of time and energy to make use of, so it's best to just pick one and get started right away.

I recommend material by DD first. You read DYD good, there are 13 more books by him, and 6 video tapes. Can be gotten free or paid for, depending on your skill level.... He mentions additional reading material in book and tapes, what I do is write them down and then get eBooks of those and read on those.

You don't have to read everything, the most important book is DYD and DD's how to change yourself, plus some body building material. Once you start changing yourself, the reading somehow makes more sense, plus you can go and use the material right away.

Read everything you can, knowledge is about 30% of your overall game. Reading David DeAngelo's two main books, 'Double Your Dating' and 'Attraction is not a choice' will up your game by about 5% alone. However, make sure you actually use the skills you get from the books right away. Getting out in the field and seeing what works for you will give you alot of success, as you feel more comfortable using the material.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
